This little sci-fi "total-conversion" mod was originally intended for my own consuption, but i figured that the forum might want it.
ChangesInstead of the earth we are familiar with, the mod takes place on a strange planet populated with alien plants and creatures. The ground has been replaced with nasty fungus, slime and such; the "trees" are alien as well. There are (as of now) two races; the Terrans and the Vexx. Terrans are the only playable race, the vexx functions as the violent, nasty and somewhat intelligent alien antagonists.
There is a new smelter reaction: "plastic from biomass". It turns alien "wood" to a couple of plastic bars. Plastic is what i use to build my Terran base with (of course you could just dig into the fungus, but thats rather nasty!)
Crossbows are now phasers, you load them with energy cells.
Shields are now "shield generators" which have a very high block rate.
Swords are lightsabers, axes "autosaws" and picks are vaporizers.
Theres more stuff (plants,clothing etc) that you can find out on your own.
Metal strengths:vexxite < plastic < duranthium < tri-strontium
What's not finishedAnimals. There are horses and such wandering around that i'm to lazy to fix right now. Just kill 'em if it annoys you
[edit]There are alien beasts now.
Theres not a lot of new things to see; only a few types of rock etc.
